Hi Abby,

It is probably the over baking and not the hand mixer. Next time test them a few minutes sooner and I bet the problem will be solved.

Thanks, Zoë

I made this recipe as cupcakes, but they turned out a bit dry, I used a hand mixer instead of food processor, could that have had anything to do with dryness? I may have baked them too long, too, any suggestions/ideas?

You have some lovely and amazing recipes, tried out this one. Actually I am baking my sons’s first birthday cake and planning to make 3 tier care with bottom layer as 12 inches red velvet cake. so tried this recipe with 12 inch pan. i poured whole batter in 12 inch pan, the cake looked little thin and top was little domed . so was wondering do i need to increase the batter and if yes then how much. moreover how can i bake flatter layer so that do not have to level my cake too much. And do you ever freeze your cakes before the big day

This looks so good. The recipe is very much like the Crazy Cake we made in 8th grade home ec back in the late 1970s. I still have the stained recipe card and still make the cake for a quick chocolate fix. Thanks for this elegant variation.

Sooo going to make this!!! I was looking at the colors of the MIlk choco frosting and the color of the actual weave decorations — How did you get the weave to be differently colored from the milk choco frosting?? Would food coloring work, because the way you did it, it looks stunning! Thanks! 🙂
